Around 21 March and 23 September, the setting sun is almost due west. However, the direction in which the sun sets changes from day to day. If you watch sunsets from the same location for a year, you'll observe the sun setting a little further towards the south each day between 21 June and 21 December, and a little further towards the north each day between 21 December and 21 June. Around 21 June, the sunsets is furthest to the north, and around 21 December it is furthest towards the south.

In a general sense, the sun sets in the "west". However it ranges from setting southwest in the winter to setting northwest in the summer with it only setting true west on the March and September equinox.
